So I am not sure what is going on. I do know that under the previous system I would now be cleared so this is not looking good from my perspective. If they are playing "Lucy with the football" with R=0 in the millisecond that the sweep runs I'd say that is clearly not playing by the spirit of the upgrade options. I hope this is a glitch but am concerned that it isn't. I PM'd UA Insider to ask what the story really is.
I would also put a call into the GS line. I know most sCO phone agents couldn't force the upgrade, but there were reports of GSs getting that done when it the upgrade should have happened and didn't.
